RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
Hello Everyone,
Yep! Back to the "same-o-same-o" :S every day of going to work. Reality is certain.
Ted and I enjoyed seeing everyone and hope to see you all again at future Old Fella Rallies.
I received a very nice Thank You card from ABC owners and Michelle. Michelle did a great job helping us with the rally and getting us Little Paws back again. If you get a chance please give them a call with a personal message of thanks.
Richard, if you pm me, I'll send you the thank you card for your scrap book.
Thanks everyone again

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
It's early Sunday morning, the end of our rally and goodbyes/fair wells until next year. It doesn't seem like it's been a year since our last 2007 Rally in Colorado. Time has gone swiftly and next years 2009 Old Fella's Rally will come around just as quick.
Ted and I just want to say thank you for your help and support you gave us. We've enjoyed being your wagon master. The rally was fun and successful.
Looking forward to seeing you all next year. Drive home safe and God be with you all.
Special thanks to Don and Dusty for all your help and assistance.

Dusty you're smart with the computer, what do you suggest?

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
Good Morning to All
Here is the list of members going to the rally. However, we really need at least one more RV'er. We are now down to 9 (less than 10). We are no longer considered a rally at ABC. This means, no pavilion privileges or group rate. We still get to have our activities but at our camp sites. The laundry room has a section with tables and chairs that we can use. However, it is first come first serve.
SO please, please, and more please if you know of anyone thinking about going, ask them again. They'll have a great time and we all get the share the discounts.
Ted and I plan to be in Branson Wednesday afternoon. They have sites set aside for us in the back close to the doggy walk way. No sites are assigned. It just first come first served all sites are pull through.

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
Oops.....
We are down to 9 rigs attending the rally. Please invite and spread the word to family and friends.
We'll all still have fun.... and that much more food and magnificent door prizes not to share, but more the merrier
We need a minimum of 10 reservations to keep our rally discount.
The rally rate is $25 per day
Without the rally rate, it is about $5 more per day if you have a Good Sam's card or you are a military vet. Otherwise it's about $10 more per day.
Please don't let this spoil our fun.....

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
I know what you mean. Prince is much over weight and a survivor of heartworms. He's my rescue from Alabama. He's approximately 9rs or older. I have to lift him up into the truck. He holds it if he can't find his spot at rest stops. Then he has real problems. I hold his food back or give him less on the day of travel. He seems not to get sick or have problems later on.
Traveling is hard on pets. I have at least one get sick when we travel. Hope to see Old Fella. If not, we'll understand.
However, you should not drive your rig solo. It's much more safe to have a passenger help navigate and spot for traffic and etc.

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
Good Morning to All,
Sorry to hear Colliehauler you will not be at Branson. We'll miss you. If your plans change please let us know. June is still weeks away and you may still make it. Just let us know for sure. We all will miss the fur kids as well. Did you see your picture in Good Sam's magazine?
We have some very nice door prizes from Trailer Life. Good Sam's gave us 1 free yr to Good Sam's membership and 1 free yr to Trailer Life.
I'll be posting this weekend the rally schedule of events. Please stand by and volunteer.
Thanks

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
Hello All from your Wagon Masters,
June is just around the corner. It seems just like yesterday we were in Colorado 2007 and last year we were in Branson 2006. Time as gone very fast but the fellowship and forever friendships made along the way are steadfast.
This is the first time Ted and I have called ourselves "your wagon masters." It's our first.
It's our first commitment but not our last. We're also wagon masters for our Carriage RV group in Aug. Last year in Colorado Ted and I were asked to be wagon masters for Branson 2008. Then, that seem a long time away. We live in Kansas City and have been to ABC many times. We're pros at attending the round ups but this will be our first commitment as your wagon master. It's pay back time for all those who've served us over the years.
I've attended several rallies at ABC. Michele and her staff are great to work with. They have already gone out of their way to help make this rally a nice experience for all of us. We will all have FUN.
However, there are some events that must be scheduled because we are using someone else's facility and equipment. There are some events that are set. Friday evening is scheduled and set. The big smoker grill has to be rented and the club house checked out to us. The club house has only so many hours allowed for usage. This is why we will post a more detailed itinerary in a few more weeks. The general out line is posted.
I'll bring the standing fire ring for the evenings and anyone who wants to bring additional wood that would be great.
I know 10 rigs may not seem like many, but at the last 2 rallies (there's only been 2) have been wonderful. We've all left with new friends and memories. Who said "bigger is better." There will be other campers in the campground that may want to join in. In Mountaindale RV park in Colorado the group graciously invited other rv'ers to join in. Again, new friendships were established.
We already have several items from Camping World donated as door prizes/raffle. We are in need of much more door prizes such as home made crafts or any rv items. Your donations will be generously appreciated. The money will go to our cause.
I'm assuming that most of you know "Old Fella" group is non for profit and everyone is a VOLUNTEER. We do not have dues or collect money towards our rallies for expenses. All prize money collected goes towards Old Fella and his cause.
Again, once we get the itinerary posted, we all can fine tune it and volunteers can sign up for what they want to do. So far colliehauler is doing breakfast. He will need another volunteer to assist. Any takers. On the first arrival/registration day the gents are cooking dinner with your choice of meat on the grill. Bring a side dish.

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
copy from post 3.3.08
OK.. I talked to Michelle at ABC today for an update.We still have 10 rigs reserved.This is a good jump start but would love to see more. Anyone with any ideas on how to get the word out, please speak up.
Camp Little Paws will be arriving on Friday with their agility equipment as they did last year. So I thought we could have our doggie parade between 5 & 6PM on Friday and the agility fun after that. There will be no Pony this year because Dixie Stampede does not have the pony any longer.
Also, I thought it would be fun to go to Dixie Stampede as a group on Saturday. If there are more than 15 tickets purchased, we get the group rate of $40.15 per person which includes the tax. The head count has to be in early with a serious commitment because there is a $200 deposit to get this rate. Last year the non-group rate was around $48.13.
I put together a tentive schedule of events. Let me know what you think.
June 4th 5pm registration... bring a covered dish and your choice of meat and the guys will grill it.
June 5th 8:00am Breakfast 5pm...Pot Luck and Ice Cream Social
June 6th 8:00am Breakfast...Barbecue 4PM-5pm..... 5pm-6pm...pet parade followed by Camp Little Paws agility exercise...6pm to 7pm. 8:00pm 50/50 pot
June 7th 8:00am Breakfast Dixie Stampeted 4:00pm
June 8th 8:00am everyone brings a canned fruit and bread to share followed by a brief church service and goodbys.

I'm dishwasher envy. My dishwasher is paper/plastic plates and tableware. LOL
Plus no portable flat screen TV. How big is your "BIG" flat screen? LOL
Be sure to put up your SOB open house sign at your Montana Rally. You may get run off. LOL
Also open house at the Old Fella Rally. I'll bring all my fur kids. LOL

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
WOW!!! 74 degrees in Denver. It was 69 in KC over the weekend. Just a memory now, it's in the low 30's. Snow or rain is expected sometime today.
Did any see the nice write up about ABC? The article said 5 yrs in a row as America's Best Campground. It really is 6 years in a row. I'm sure they are proud. Maybe this will help our registration count to increase. Nice picture of 2006 rally too.
I've contacted Tammy Worley from Good Sam's magazine. She was in Branson in 2006. She is suppose to get back with me about door prizes and who will be able to come from Good Sam's at our rally. She said she could not come because of another conflict in her schedule. Everyone is busy, yet lots to do.
Left a message with Michelle to give me a new update. I'll ask her if there is a count minimum. Also, I'll review with her about shows and entertainment. Now that we're approaching the time line, we can review our options more clearly.
Oh by the way Dusty, we have a Carriage dealer here in KC now. Also, saw Quality Rv at the RV show this weekend here in KC but they could not bring any Carriage products because of the new dealer. The new dealer brought 2 Carriage rigs to the show. They have a Cameo in your floor plan now.
PS Dusty, rub-it-in that you have a dishwasher and I don't. lol

RE: 2008 OLD FELLA RALLY BRANSON MISSOURI JUNE 4-8TH
What do you think about each of us calling on some of our local rv dealers to get them to donate any good stuff? Start with the dealers we bought out Rvs from. This way the number of contacts will be more great and more goodies. I'll call Good Sam, Camping World, and the Carriage factory. Any other ideas or contacts????

Hello Everyone, June is moving fast and furious. It's time to start putting together an itinerary of daily events. Any suggestions? Also, any fund raising ideas for Old Fella's new building? I'll bring the same fire ring and extra wood . ABC will help coordinate local entertainment.
